[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7528125, member: 6779196"] Right, which is why you’re projecting that baggage on to me. I don’t appreciate it. Ok, I am not afraid that this will lead to a formal PDF or setting guide, and I have not expressed such fears. What I have said, repeatedly, is that it sucks to not be excited by the prospect of one’s own favorite setting returning. I’m not “afraid” of the setting returning, I’m disinterested in it returning, and feeling that way about Nentir Vale bums me out. As for the term casual, I was using that as part of the analogy to a video game series, because that’s the usual complaint about new entries in beloved series and I thought it would be the analogy with which you could most easily identify. I guess I was right, you just latched onto the wrong part of the analogy. To be perfectly clear: I have absolutely no problem with casual gamers, in fact I would consider myself one. I also have no problem with anyone who likes Mike Mearls’s interpretation of Nentir Vale. I personally dislike it (and not because it is “casual-friendly,” that was just part of the analogy. I dislike it because it changes details about the setting that I was very fond of). Because I dislike it, I am uninterested in Mearl’s stream set in it, which I feel conflicted about, because a Nentir Vale streaming game is precisely the sort of thing I would normally be very into. But I bear absolutely no ill will towards anyone who does enjoy it. My conflicted feelings are entirely personal. But here’s the thing: I have not said a single bad thing about people who like Mearls’s interpretation of Nentir Vale. Because I don’t believe there is anything wrong with liking it. You are assuming an ultirior motive behind my personal distaste for a setting that I am not expressing, and I do not hold. Well then it’s a good thing that I’m not upset that other people are going to be introduced to a different version than me. Maybe you need to take a step back, because you’re seeing straw people keeping straw gates. No, I’m not, and I deeply resent being compared to that guy. Please stop it. [/QUOTE]
